We very much appreciate the good comments from you all. We're thrilled you enjoyed the show and had a good time in Phoenix. It was a long slog getting ready and hope everyone had a good time. For such a large metropolis (sixth largest by most counts), the people here still have a small-town mentality and are very welcoming. Thanks for coming, we loved having you here. Steve

No, Mark, those numbers do not include what was on the Chapter/Club/SIG tables. I'll see if I can get the numbers for those and get them up, too. thanks for the post. Steve

Awards Banquet
SteveCollins replied to John Walker's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
As opposed to perhaps a vegetarian meal? Otherwise, yes, it's a buffet meal. Steve -
Agree, Gil, but we're not going to get anywhere close to that 'buy tickets to seminars' thing. That would instantly get rumored around that we were charging everyone for going to seminars and that would be an ugly mess to straighten out. And, as Jim said, that should be one of the perks of membership and registration. Steve

Awards Banquet
SteveCollins replied to John Walker's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
Guys, Here's the menu for the buffet at the banquet. And yes, it's is served buffet style. However, I wouldn't be concerned about running out of anything. And I can tell you from personal experience, these people make good Italian food.

To clarify, general admission allows entry into the vendor room and the contest room but does not permit you to enter models in the contest or for display nor entry into the seminars or IPMS/USA meetings. Steve

Awards Banquet

I will get specific information from the hotel and post it here as soon as possible. To my knowledge, it will be identical to the 2010 banquet, where you get in line and serve yourself. It worked very well then and I'm pretty sure nobody went away hungry. Steve -

Airport to Hotel
SteveCollins replied to MikeBrickman's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
Yes, Nick, the train would go west from the 44th St Metro Station to get to the 3rs St/Washington stop. Walk west to the first corner, which will be 2nd Street. Turn right and the hotel will be in view a short block north of you on the left. Please let us know if there are any more questions. We'll be glad to help you in any way we can. Steve -
VENDOR List- updates?

And SprueBrothers is supporting us, too. As you'll see when you get to the show. Steve -
Airport to Hotel
SteveCollins replied to MikeBrickman's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
Nick is correct. Light Rail is quick, convenient, and inexpensive. Nearest stop is about a block away. Lots of pelicans in the area if you don't want to make the walk, though. Also, Uber and Lyft are very active in the vicinity of the airport and it's about a 5-10 minute ride. Steve -
VENDOR List- updates?
SteveCollins replied to Jaymo's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
What sort of rumors are you hearing, Jorge? Steve -
Mike, As you can see, it's an on-going process. As new vendors sign up and send in their contract, Kevin gathers their information and updates the map and forwards it to Tim, our webguy. tim, in turn, updates the website with the new list and the new version of the map. Hope to see you in August. Steve
